Alison had her 4month appt yesterday and she is now a whopping 15lbs & 24 inches long! She is a chunker! So in four months she's gained 10lbs and 8 inches. Wow. She is doing ok on her development too. She is pushing up when on her tummy and very talkative, but isn't quite grabbing for things yet, which is ok with the pedi because of her adjusted age.

The only issue is that her head is flat. The pedi said more tummy time, but honestly, I don't know if we can do any more than what we are doing. We let her nap on her tummy, she gets tummy time throughout the day at the sitters, we put her in different seats all the time so she is constantly in a different sitting position, etc. I don't know what else to do so I went out and bought a bumbo seat. Hopefully she'll start sitting soon and that will help. I feel bad though, like I've done something wrong.

All in all, she is doing really well and I feel so blessed to have her.

Mason's head was flat on one side because he had tight neck muscles and always kept his head turned to one side. As soon as he started sitting more it got much better and his therapist said that as his brain grew his head would round out. Don't feel guilty about it...Mason's therapist told me that most kids have a flat spot somewhere because we put babies to sleep on their back now. She sounds like she is doing great!!

My second daughter also had a flat spot on her head, pretty significant actually. Another option is to always lay them on the opposite side of the flat spot and to keep her upright as much as possible. Like Julie said, it is something that has really come up since the Back to Sleep campaign.

I have a bumbo as well and it also helps with strengthening the back....I got mine off of craigslist for $10, no need to buy it new. Michael has a flat head, not too bad on the back, at 9 mos. He's moving alot more now and I switch which way I put him down for bed, it'll get better as she gets older.
